在线旅游公司Priceline

2012年排名：14

之前排名：12

CEO：杰弗里•H•博伊德

    这家全球领先的在线旅游公司在1998年成立时推出了“自主定价”系统。不论是酒店客房、飞机票，或是租车费，用户都可以自己出价。之后，公司经历了跨越式增长：2011年公司净收入约比之前一年翻了一番，达到10.5亿美元。业务飙升主要是受到国际市场的推动，国际旅游业务的预订额约占公司总预订额的78%。此外，2004年，公司回购了位于康涅狄格州的国际酒店预订网站Booking.com，是公司业务增长的另外一个因素。

Priceline

2012 Fastest-Growing rank: 14

Previous rank: 12

CEO: Jeffery H. Boyd

    The leading online travel company got its start with its "Name Your Own Price" system back in 1998. Users could offer prices for hotel rooms, airline tickets, and car rentals. Since then, the company has seen massive growth: net income nearly doubled to $1.05 billion last in 2011 compared with the year before. Yet again, the cause was largely international sales, which grew to 78% of the company's overall bookings and Booking.com, the Connecticut-based international hotel reservations site it bought back in 2004.
